First, I would like to clarify something, I'm not a native English speaker, I'm Belgian speaking French (If you don't know, in Belgium we also speak Nederlands and German, this is why I specify), I'll probably make some grammatical errors, typing errors or will choose wrong words, I haven't used any help to write this guide excepted Google Translator sometimes for some words I forgot, if you want to help me improving this guide and fixed those errors, don't hesitate to leave a comment about that, I would be really happy to learn how to avoid these mistakes.

In this guide, I'll help you to create your first clothing factory OR improving your actual one, my clothing factory isn't perfect, I think we can totally optimize it more but, I find it already pretty nice, it works perfectly without any problem.

Here's what it's able to produce and how it looks like :

• Clothing (Classic Cheap Male)
  
• Clothing (Classic Cheap Female)
  
• Clothing (Modern Cheap Male)
  
• Clothing (Modern Cheap Female)
  
• Clothing (Classic Expensive Male)
  
• Clothing (Classic Expensive Female)
  
• Clothing (Modern Expensive Male)
  
• Clothing (Modern Expensive Female)

Before creating your clothing factory, you might need to setup few things to make it work correctly.

First, if you don't already have an Head Office, you probably are at the beginning of your game, sorry, but you can't continue this guide without an Head Office, an Head Office is needed to manage your importations and your delivery drivers, if you already have one, you'll need to rent or buy a new warehouse and set it up as a Factory, then, go to General US Trucks (78 3rd Street), buy a new vehicle and put it in your new Factory, now, you're ready to start the guide :)

We'll start with your Head Office, you need to setup a contract between one of your Purchasing Agent and Maritime Freight Line, if you need to hire a new Purchasing Agent, do it, Maritime Freight Line will be your importer of Cheap and Expensive Fabric for your Factory, next, you'll need to setup a Logistics Manager to manage your delivery between your Factory and your enterprises or another warehouse, again, if you don't have one avaiable, hire a new one.

Next, we'll continue on your Factory, if you haven't already done it, hire one Delivery Driver for each vehicle you've bought for your Factory, then, you'll need to hire some Factory Workers, depending of how much hours and days your Factory is open, I can't really give you a number of Factory Workers to hire, to reduce salary costs, I personally keep my Factory open between 6 hours and 18 hours everyday, so, I need a total of six Factory Workers each one working 6 hours a day and I setup them like that : https://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3357838700

Now that you Head Office is ready and you've got your Factory Workers, it's time to buy Factory items, you can buy those at Factory Supply Depot (57 5th Avenue), be aware of Factory items cost a lot, really, I'll write prices of each items next to their name and a total price will also be written bellow everything.
https://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3357829766

At Factory Supply Depot, buy those items :

• Input Station x2 - 25.000$ / unit
  
• Output Station x4 - 25.000$ / unit
  
• Conveyor Belt x64 - 5000$ / unit
  
• Conveyor Belt Splitter x8 - 7500$ / unit
  
• Laser Cutting Machine x4 - 280.000$ / unit
  
• Industrial Sewing Machine x8 - 50.000$ / unit
  
• (Not needed if you already have some) Pallet Shelf x5 - 2500$ / unit

With all those items, you'll need a total of 1.942.500$ (1.897.750$ with Pallet Shelf) ... I said it, it cost a lot.

Now, it's time to build this factory, I can't really explain to you everything in detail, a video would be better for that but I can't, sorry.

Before you start to build it, be aware of something, if your Input Station is filled with Fabric (Cheap), the four next Industrial Sewing Machine needs to be filled with CHEAP items, so, those one :

• Clothing (Classic Cheap Male)
  
• Clothing (Classic Cheap Female)
  
• Clothing (Modern Cheap Male)
  
• Clothing (Modern Cheap Female)

And if your Input Station is filled with Fabric (Expensive), the four next Industrial Sewing Machine needs to be filled with EXPENSIVE items, so, those one :

• Clothing (Classic Expensive Male)
  
• Clothing (Classic Expensive Female)
  
• Clothing (Modern Expensive Male)
  
• Clothing (Modern Expensive Female)

Here's how your factory should look like after placing everything :


As you can see, with the new design, the factory is split in two parts, so. you can now put each of these parts anywhere you want in your Factory, so, it can be easier to place it now :)

Building a Factory, isn't that hard but it cost a lot, prepare yourself before starting to buy anything about Factory, I would recommend you to have +50% of the total price on your account is case of trouble (For example, if you need $2 millions to setup a Factory, try to have $2.5 millions on your account).

It is worth it to create a Factory ? For me, yes it is !
Why ? Let's compare the price of clothes from BlueStone Imports, so, when you bought it directly instead of creating it and the price of each raw material,

Here's the price of one unit of each clothes type from BlueStore Imports :

• Clothing (Classic Cheap Male) - 13.42 / unit
  
• Clothing (Classic Cheap Female) - 10.85$ / unit
  
• Clothing (Modern Cheap Male) - 11.87$ / unit
  
• Clothing (Modern Cheap Female) - 15.19$ / unit
  
• Clothing (Classic Expensive Male) - 18.56$ / unit
  
• Clothing (Classic Expensive Female) - 17.14$ / unit
  
• Clothing (Modern Expensive Male) - 17.05$ / unit
  
• Clothing (Modern Expensive Female) - 17.97$ / unit

https://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3357849985

And here's the price of one unit of each raw material from Maritime Freight Line :

• Fabric (Cheap)- 3.14 / unit
  
• Fabric (Expensive) - 6.27$ / unit

https://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3357853413

So, with just four Fabric (Cheap). you can produce one of each Cheap clothes for 12.56$ instead of buying one of each for 51.33$, you save 38.77$ in total / unit of four.
And for expensives clothers, you can produce one of each for 25.08$ istead of buying one of each for 70.72$, you save 45.64$ / unit of four.

This Factory use 152 Fabric (Cheap) and 104 Fabric (Expensive) per day, so, at Maritine Freight Line, you need a minimum of 200 or 250 of each to be delivered (To have a little bit more in stock) per day, so 1400 of each per week, you can also do a big order to Maritime Freight Line, like 50.000 of each but only once, so, you'll have a lot of time before needing to refill your Factory :)

This Factory produce around 150 Unit of each cheap clothes and 75 Unit of each expensive clothes per day, it's not a lot BUT, if you can afford it, this version of the Factory is just the "cheapest" one I was able to do, if you want to upgrade it, just add more "Laser Cutting Machine" and "Industrial Sewing Machine" (Without adding more Input Station !), each time you x2 each machine will x2 your production.

Plus, producing yourself what you sell allows you to avoid any out of stock problem from your importers, to prepare a huge stock without spending a lot of money, to manage your production as you wish and to save a lot of money.

Thank you for reading my guide, I hope it helped you to create or improve your clothing factory, it you have any problems or advise, don't hesitate to leave a comment, have a nice day !
